Are you coming to a stop in a higher gear, then trying to downshift several gears while the bike is stopped?
Good question. Even the best performing bike cant always do that. Thats why you should downshift all the gears before coming to a stop. It doesnt need to be moving very fast.
It was happening while rolling, say 20-25 mph. Hell, I've been around a while and know that problem.
After today's ride, he said it is downshifting the way it should. I didn't try it, I take his word. The previous owner had put some MX looking foot boards on it and my buddy put the stock pegs back on....the only change made. Making me think it was a me problem, between the footboards and mid controls (I'm used to forwards).
